As a standup performer, I'm onstage, and it's important how the audience is looking at me. I'm looking at whether they're leaning forward or not, those types of things. You read an energy. And it's the same thing in a scene with other actors.

L.A.'s pretty great, man. But I'll be very honest - I prefer New York. It's more my speed.

I look at Seinfeld - he looks like he's having fun. He's just enjoying being Jerry Seinfeld, you know, on 'Seinfeld.'

Performing for Dick Van Dyke once was fun.

Parenting is the hardest thing I have ever done. I tried to find the balance between the strict, traditional Chinese way I was raised, which I think can be too harsh, and what I see as a tendency in the West to be too permissive and indulgent. If I could do it all again, I would, with some adjustments.

I've always loved musical theater. It's a bit of a family tradition.

My family background was heavily slanted toward business and seafaring matters.

I want to relax and spend time with my family.
